Hello family, and welcome to day 23 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m so grateful you’re here today.

Before we begin, I want to share something important.
This podcast continues because of the people who believe in it, people just like you.

Truly, thank you for helping us keep this mission alive. And if you’d like us to pray for you by name, you can submit your intentions at 54daysofroses.com. 

This season, we continue praying for peace in the world, for freedom from addictions, for those who are struggling now,
for those in recovery, and for the families and friends walking with them in love and hope. 

And we also pray for the intentions you hold in your heart.

Today we reflect on something every person of faith experiences: those moments when God feels silent.

You pray… and nothing. You wait… and nothing. You look for signs… and heaven feels quiet. In those moments, it’s easy to wonder: “Does God hear me?” “Why isn’t anything changing?” “Am I alone?”

But silence is not God’s absence. Often His silence means He’s working deeply in the hidden places, preparing your heart, protecting you from moving too fast, or shaping something better than what you asked for.

Think of a seed. It grows in silence, in the dark, beneath the soil. But that silence is full of life. God works the same way with us.

So if God feels silent today, don’t lose heart. He sees you. He hears you. He is closer than you think.

Today our prayer is: “Lord, even when You are silent, I trust that You are near.”

If you are keeping up with your journal, ask yourself where in my life do I feel God is silent? And what do I think He might be teaching me in this waiting?

Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we pray for every person who feels unheard, unsure, or alone.
Wrap them in your peace, and remind them that God is near, even in the quiet.

We especially pray for: Annie, Arvin, Auriel, Augustin, Barbara, Briana, Carmen, Charito, Cherie, Cherryl, Ciaro, Daniela, Denise, Edith, Ernesto, Evelyn, Faryn, Faviola, Gabby, Gaby, Gabriela, Gayle, Guisella, Irene, Jasmine, Jazmin, Jessica, Joshua, Jude, Kelsey, Kurt, Lisa, Lise, Lorraine, Lucerito, Luz, Marlene, Maria Gabriela, Maria Soledad, Miriam, Natasha, Olivia, Patrick, River, Roberto, Rosalia, Shari, Stefan, Teresa, Theresa, Tisha, Tony, Violeta, Wendy, Will, Yadira, Yve Marie. We pray for the

With love,
Maritza Mendez.
